Your start with our success programme

The WALTER GROUP is known for preparing new employees to a high standard for their future tasks. From day one we completely integrate you into the team and daily business, immediately considering and treating you as a fully fledged member of the WALTER GROUP. We see you as someone who dives in head first and gets stuck into their tasks without hesitation. However we don't just throw you in the deep end; our ongoing training & coaching is an extremely important part of our trainee programme.

Perfect preparation for the young professional

After completing your education at university or secondary school, you are now taking your first steps into real business. Now is the time for training on the job, for joining in the conversation, the work and the decisions. And for a multitude of subject-specific seminars and workshops as part of our trainee programme, which lasts several months and turns any newcomer into a professional.

"Train the Winner" is about the decisive last mile. To find that place in the WALTER GROUP that best suits your talents, under the supervision of your own coach. So that you, as a young professional, are soon responsible for your personal field of work and, depending on your position, can take on the following tasks, for example:

independently travel to your markets
acquire and oversee business partners
actively participate in the development of our more than 170 logistics divisions
further optimise our existing systems or develop new ones in the Shared Service division
and much more

Languages are a key to success

The WALTER GROUP operates internationally throughout Europe. Although German is our company language, we communicate with our business partners in their native language. Which is why language skills are not just important from the beginning, but are specifically promoted within our company:

In individual training and group courses, you can learn a new language or improve existing language skills.
With language training in various European cities (e.g. St. Petersburg, Krakow, Lisbon or Malaga) you'll polish your skills.
